      Lando Norris lifts lid on luxury car collection with ultra-rare £2MILLION Lamborghini and iconic £1million Ferrari

      by

      LANDO NORRIS loves to rip around the streets of Monte Carlo, driving one of his prized cars with the sunroof open.The McLaren driver largely keeps to himself in Monaco — even ordering in food to his apartment to avoid the beady eyes on him.Lando Norris owns a Lamborghini Miura worth £2mCredit: AlamyThe McLaren star boasts an impressive car collectionCredit: Twitter/@McLarenF1He has a customised 765LT Spider in his garageCredit: SuppliedBut the one thing Norris, 25, does not mind showing off is his multi-million collection of luxury motors.The jewel in the crown is his Lamborghini Miura, widely considered the first supercar ever made.Fewer than 800 were built between 1966 and 1973 and it was Norris’ biggest purchase, for around £2million.He said: “I bought it because I watched the Lamborghini movie. It’s a car I loved and thought it was pretty cool.READ MORE IN F1“That was the first decent purchase I made for a car. It’s one of the best-looking cars ever been made.I grew up loving cars. I’m lucky I get to drive them and buy them because I have always dreamed of it.” Norris’ Ferrari F40 has a £1m-plus price tag and is the poster car of the 1980s.But he was seething when someone he has not named borrowed it over New Year — and crashed it in Monaco.Most read in MotorsportCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSA video of the incident went viral. And asked if the car was back to normal, he replied through gritted teeth: “No. It was when I was away. I wasn’t happy at all.”Norris also owns a McLaren 765LT Spider, P1 and Senna which he has jazzed up with his own tweaks.The £360k Spider has ‘LN’ on the driver’s seat and a stamp on it reads ‘me in a car’. It is finished in blue and yellow to match Norris’ helmet with a British flag inside the door and four yellow stripes to mark his race number.The Brit also owns a £1.1m Porsche Carrera GT in a dark green shade plus a 1972 Fiat 500 Jolly Evocation.The latest in his collection seems to be his new £230k Lamborghini Urus, which he was spotted driving at the Place du Casino in Monaco a few months back.A friend crashed his beloved Ferrari F40Credit: GettyNorris has the keys to a classic Fiat 500Credit: Car and ClassicHe added: “McLarens have been the ones that I’ve spent the most time making and doing special touches on.“I prefer classics and older cars more than modern ones.”Norris admits he is putting his party-boy reputation behind him — he is more likely to spend time playing golf and padel with pal Max Verstappen — as he focuses on becoming world champion.He said: “Sometimes it’s nice to let loose. It’s not something I’ve done this year.“I’m a guy that wants to enjoy my life but I also know the balance of what’s good for me and what’s not.“Nothing takes away from the fact I’ve always prioritised F1 and being the best driver I can be.“I’m a very private guy but sometimes people wait outside my apartment.“That’s probably the least amount of respect someone can have — I find that very weird and awkward.”Norris finished second in Imola last time out and trails team-mate Oscar Piastri by 13 points. But he is currently 11 clear of four-time world champ Verstappen.Read More on The SunNorris said: “I have a lot of respect for Max. He’s looked out for me and we’ve had some fun nights together.”And Norris might just let his hair down if he is victorious in Monaco, saying: “I haven’t had a big night out in Monaco for a long time. It’s a place where everyone dreams of winning so we’ll wait and see.” More

      Verstappen wins F1 Emilia Romagna GP as Norris steals second from McLaren team-mate Piastri and Hamilton climbs 8 places

      by

      MAX VERSTAPPEN proved that nothing keeps a great champion down for long after beating the odds to win his second race of the season at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.The Red Bull star, chasing five-straight world titles, won his first race as a new dad, to close the gap on championship leader Oscar Piastri to 22 points.Max Verstappen has won the Emilia Romagna Grand PrixCredit: APOscar Piastri battled team-mate Lando NorrisCredit: GettyVerstappen, who earned his luck through safety cars, showed he’s in a league of his own and the best wheel-to-wheel driver in the world after beating the technically faster McLaren vehicles by six seconds in Imola.Lando Norris pipped Piastri to second after almost crashing into his team-mate with five laps to go, while a devastated George Russell dropped to seventh from P3.Meanwhile, Lewis Hamilton made an incredible recovery from starting P12 to record his best-ever finish in a Ferrari in fourth, with team-mate Charles Leclerc, who could be facing a time-penalty, just behind him.Hamilton said he “needed a miracle” to get any points in front of the passionate Tifosi, after the Brit and Leclerc recorded the team’s worst-ever qualifying finish in Imola. READ MORE IN F1A dramatic start saw world champion Verstappen get his elbows out to brilliantly steal the lead from pole-sitter Piastri by going around the outside.Within seconds, Mercedes’ Russell could be heard on radio shouting from P3: “Piastri what are you doing?” after the Aussie naively moved inside to allow a late-braking Verstappen tons of space out wide.DRS enabled the Dutchman, who knew he needed to create a big gap on the superior McLaren cars, to open up a 1.6s lead on Piastri and Russell.Soon title-chaser Norris edged past Russell at the first chicane in Lap 11, and went second after Piastri seemingly ditched ‘Plan A’ to pit early on Lap 14, which the Silver Arrows driver matched.Most read in MotorsportCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSVerstappen celebrates his victoryCredit: APHamilton was jumped by Mercedes replacement Kimi Antontelli at the start, while his team-mate Charles Leclerc moved up from 11th to ninth before pitting first.Yuki Tsunoda, who started from the pits after a horror near-death crash in qualifying, went 10th by Lap 17 and couldn’t hold off his team-mate’s rival Piastri, who soon climbed the field.Sun F1 reporter Isabelle Barker tries Lewis Hamilton’s favourite spaghetti cooked by three Michelin star chef at Bahrain Grand PrixWith nearly half the race gone, Verstappen still hadn’t pitted in the apparent two-stop strategy, as the Dutchman clearly tried to open as big a gap on Norris as possible.Savvy Verstappen knew a flawless pit would keep him high enough to hold his lead. And, soon, things got even BETTER for him.A virtual safety car on Lap 29 after Estebon Ocon spun off track, provided the perfect chance for the Dutchman to stop and open up a 20-SECOND lead on Norris.But while the Red Bull ace was incredibly lucky, the opposite was true for Norris, who had pitted a lap before the opportune safety car.With Verstappen still leading, McLaren were smart enough to pit Piastri on Lap 31, with poor Russell down in 12th after starting third.Hamilton soon pipped past Antonelli and Hadjar by Lap 36 – to the sheer delight of the screaming Tifosi fans in the grandstands.And soon Verstappen was back in Lady Luck’s good books AGAIN.The Dutchman was handed another pit stop on a plate after Italian home favourite Antontelli’s race ended after peeling off track on Turn 7 of Lap 45.Norris and Hamilton also grabbed the chance to replace their tyres, but a fuming Leclerc was told to “stay out”.After 10 safety car laps, a great restart from Vestappen saw him cruise to victory.Williams star Carlos Sainz was less than a second further back from Russell in eighth.Isack Hadjar finished ninth while Tsunoda claimed a point in 10th.Read More on The SunAt the chequered flag, Verstappen said: “Brilliant weekend. Fantastic execution all-around.“Thank you very much and on our 400th race!” Lewis Hamilton made up eight places to finish P4Credit: AP More
